With three months until the official premiere of the next movie in the Star Trek series, “Star Trek Into Darkness,” Paramount has released a dedicated application for Android and iOS users.

The official “Star Trek Into Darkness” application is based on J.J. Abrams’ movie and promises to provide Android and iOS enthusiasts with access to Star Trek content.

In addition, the application will offer users the chance to take part in various missions and win special prizes and rewards.

Unveiled last month at the Consumer Electronics Show 2013 (CES) during Qualcomm’s CEO Paul E. Jacobs’ keynote, “Star Trek Into Darkness” is said to “harness the power of the smartphone to bridge the digital and physical world, allowing the studio to market the film in the real world and simultaneously bring users into the film’s story and world.”
